Obviously shopped.

I looked though some forgotten photos and found it; unfortunately, my shot with the stop sign turned out too blurry. Ooops.



Several stop signs and blades were on "elevated" posts, so it wasn't just about Hammer time.

Deliberate placement: you can't touch this.

Sixth Street.

What's funny about Sixth Street?  That's one of the most normal and unfunny street names there is. :confused:

Norman has a neighborhood with Dr. Seuss-themed street names. Some of these may even be funny.

He was mocking the other people who were submitting street names that were not sufficiently funny.
Clinched, minus I-93 (I'm missing a few miles and my file is incorrect)

Traveled, plus US 13, 44, and 50, and several state routes

I will be in Burlington VT for the eclipse.

I once found a street, the name of it and the town where it is located matched both family names* of a friend I once had. I'm still laughing at it and the way I found it (I didn't google it, I just stumbled upon it).

* As I've said several times, in Spain people have two family names, and not just the "last name"; the second is inherited from the mother. If you know your mother's maiden name, that's your second "Spanish" family name.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.

What's funny about "Dumfries"? It's the name of a town and it's pronounced "dum-freeze." The road leads from the Manassas area to the Dumfries area, hence the road's name.

What makes it funnier is the no outlet sign on it.

Should have put a Dead End sign instead.

Here's two with photos I took today:

My father-in-law lives on Scenic Drive outside of Princeton, Minnesota.  I never really thought it was terribly funny, but apparently humor is subjective.

I was on a road called "Scenic Highway" in the Snellville-Lawrenceville, GA area last month, which I thought was a funny name in an ironic way, because it was a major arterial through an area of suburban sprawl. Such a "scenic" view of endless chain stores and restaurants that was.

There's a Scenic Highway in Baton Rouge, and it's not any more scenic than yours.

There are two streets in Cincinnati's Madisonville neighborhood that alone are not odd, but what is odd about them is the fact that "Simpson Ave" and "Homer Ave" are next to each other.

I found an neighborhood in Fishers IN that named roads after NFL teams. Strange enough I couldn't find the Colts anywhere. You would have thought that one would have gone first.
